Weighed in this morning at 168.2, a half pound down since last week. This feels like it is going REALLY SLOWLY for me! I am halfway through Jillian's Ripped in 30 DVD, and it is HARD! I am building muscle, so that's good, but I wish some of this fat would go away! How are you all doing? Jen

Did one more day of Level 2 today, on to Level 3 tomorrow!

Hey all! I know its been a couple days but I am still here! I run a homeschool co-op and it is a REALLY busy few weeks for me in Aug./Sept! Sorry for not posting! gd50cent........................................L3D6 -Done!(08/24) jojowink..........................................L3D6 -Done!(09/06) momofJandA…

I did Level 2 Day 2 today! Yeah! triceps and shoulders are screaming- in a good way! :) Now the bad news- I think I strained my thumb doing all those planks and the table thingies. I don't want to stop but I don't want to hurt it worse- any ideas what I could do? Going to ice it and rest it tonight, but it hurts! I can't…

Sorry about not posting yesterday, hope I can still count this! My Friday weigh in was 168.6! Yeah!! :) Jen

Feeling better- got back on Ripped today, started level 2! It wasn't as bad as I was fearing, but do any of you have arms that aren't long enough to raise yourself up for the abhold thing where you lift and then raise yourself up into a table? I can't do that! And couldn't figure out really how to modify! Anyone else have…

I didn't do Ripped today because my stomach is still messed up from the other night. I don't think I am actually sick, but eating bad really really made me feel BAD! Back tomorrow! Jen

I am sorry I haven't updated in the past few days- this time of year gets unbelievably busy for me! But I have been going strong here- done with Level 1, should be on to level 2 tomorrow if I feel better. I had my first real cheat night in 60 days last night (went to a restaurant, had a drink, appetizer, and full fat…

I think it is wonderful to hear about your sweet grandbaby! I LOVE babies, and I am sad mine is 14 months now! Love those little tiny ones! Enjoy holding and snuggling her today! Jen

Level 1 Day 3 done! It is gettting at least doable for me, but I am genuinely scared of level 2! I haven't seen it, but I think level 1 is really hard! Your pics are awesome! Look at the definition in your arm muscles! GREAT JOB!!!!!! Jen pizzygirltx........................................L1D6 -Done!(08/??)…

Hey all! Did L1D2 today, and yes, I did take two days off because 1. I am BUSY BUSY BUSY, and 2. I was so SORE!!! But I got back at it today, and gave it my best! Good day today, the scale finally went down two pounds after being stuck for a few weeks! Jen pizzygirltx........................................L1D6…

YEAH!!! FINALLY, THE SCALE MOVED FOR ME!!!! 170.0! I CANNOT WAIT TO BE OUT OF THE 170s FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been adding to the team mile count, I am doing Jillian's Ripped in 30 workout and with starting our school year back (I homeschool) and leading a big homeschool co-op…

Oh, also, how is everyone counting? Are you all doing 7 days of each level? And what about break days? She says on here that we should have them, but I am a little confused as to how I should count to 30 here... ;) Jen

Hi all! I started yesterday, but didn't get in here to post because it was a BUSY day! And today, MAN on MAN are my hamstrings sore from those fast feet!!! I thought it was a great workout, not as bad as I had feared, but I know I am just on level 1! I have to say, though, that Jillian wearing all the makeup and being all…

OK, I am going to give Ripped a go, even though I am worried! ;) I have another question for you experienced experts... since finishing the Shred 3 weeks ago, I have only lost a pound! And I have been doing the Shred every day. I know I am gaining muscle and getting toned and fit, but I REALLY need to lose some weight to…

Hi everyone! Busy week here! I did finally budge the scale at least a little bit, my weigh in is 172. I REALLY hope I can drop 2 pounds in the next week and get to 169.anything! I am READY TO BE OUT OF THE 170s!!!! Jen

My results were awesome- I lost 10 lbs and 19 inches (-5 waist, -5hips, -2 each calf, -1.5 each thigh, -1 each arm)! you can search 30DS or 30 day shred and come up with lots of thread with lots of pics that will inspire you!

About at the middle, I started feeling muscles I hadn't felt before. But I didn't really notice much, until I weighed and measured after I was done.. then, WOW! -10 lbs and 19 inches, and my before and after pics were dramatically different! My advice would be: JUST KEEP GOING!!!! It is making a difference, even if you…

Ok, y'all, I need your opinion. I am going back through 30DS and it is still REALLY hard for me, I sweat like crazy and everything burns. But, I can do everything, just not easily, and I am still following Anita for some of it. FYI, before I started 30 DS, my only forms of exercise were sitting on the couch and carrying a…

I use "circuit training, general" when I log it, and it says 221 calories. I don't have a HRM, so I just went by what was closest to the activity. Jen

This week will be better for all of us! I would like to challenge you all week thisto join me in drinking enough water... at least 8-10 cups per day, and in getting enough sleep! Our bodies will thank us! Make it a great week, team! Jen

I lost 10 pounds and 19 total inches! 5 on waist, 5 on hips, 2 on each calf, 1.5 each thigh, and 1 each arm! DEFINITELY worth it, I am going through it again!

I am no expert, by any means, but I have completed the 30DS and now going through it a second time. I don't have a HRM, but here are my thoughts. I think I probably burned less calories as I progressed through the levels, because I got better and it was easier the last part of each level than the first. However, I built…

My endocrinologist likes to see TSH below 3.0, and I find that the lower I go the better I feel. I have never dropped low enough to have hyperthyroid symptoms, though, and I know that would be a danger of going too low.

You are all doing great! I can't wait until I start! :) In the mean time, I am redoing half of 30ds (let's just call it the 15ds, LOL!)... 5 days on each level... and you know what? It is still HARD and makes me SWEAT!!! I am a little worried about what Ripped In 30 has to bring me, but you all are still alive, so I am…

Hi all! I know today is weigh in day, but I should probably just have you keep me at where I was. I went out last night and had chinese, and I think it caused major water retention or something, because I was up like 3 pounds this morning ! And I know I cheated last night, but there is no way I gained 3 pounds this week! I…

Hey all, in prep for Ripped in 30, I have a question for all of you who are now experts! I am using 3 pound weights for 30DS, although I may move up soon to 5 lbs. I see most of you are using heavier weights for RI30, do I need to get heavier ones? I was kind of assuming that since it is harder, I would still be using 3…

HI everybody! Just found this thread, and I am really excited to continue with you all... it was so great doing 30DS with you! I was planning to start on the 24th, but I need to have Mondays be my off day, so I will start the 23rd :) In the mean time, I am rotating through levels of the 30ds again, hoping it will result in…

Hi all, My weigh in today is 172.8... so after last week's stuck status, the scale finally moved! Yeah!! :) Have a great weekend! Jen
